[Sca-cooks] Books of Trades

Oh yes. And Boileau was only the start; there are a long list of royal  
statutes in France that follow his and that typically are far more specific. 
You  can also read the journal of a Bourgeois of Paris (the one from the 
Middle Ages,  not the one from the Revolutionary period) which cites a long list 
of  prices.

And  an Englishman named John of Garland left a Dictionary in Latin which 
gives  (sometimes eccentric) details on Parisian trades in the 14th  century.

"Coquinarii quocunt et vertunt in verubus colurnise anseres, et  columbas, 
et altilia; sed frequenter vendunt carnes crudas simplicibus mancipiis  
scolarium cum salsamentis' et aleatise maie disteperatis. Quibus in vident  
carnifices in macillis, vendentes carnes grossas bovinas, et ovinas, et  
porcinas, aliquando lepra percussas; maceras et mensaculas scolaribus  incucientes. 
Sed mactatores a scolaribus animosis mactantur, propter hillias  immundas, 
et salsucias, tuceta, et scruta, que popello conveniunt  tunicate."
